How To Detect Firewall Using Nmap

      How To Dectect Firewall Using Nmap It's important to determine if your  firewall  configuration can cope with a real life attack. The  Nmap  TCP ACK scan (-sA) will establish whether packets can pass through your  firewall  unfiltered. To speed up the scan, the –n option can be used to prevent reverse DNS resolution on the active IP addresses it finds. Determining Firewall Rules The first step toward bypassing firewall rules is to understand them. Where possible, Nmap distinguishes between ports that are reachable but closed, and those that are actively filtered. An effective technique is to start with a normal SYN port scan, then move on to more exotic techniques such as ACK scan and IP ID sequencing to gain a better understanding of the network. Standard SYN Scan One helpful feature of the TCP protocol is that systems are required by RFC 793 to send a negative response to unexpected connection requests...
